site of the olympics thing going on in south korea hey jason how significant is this invitation by the north korean leader kim jong un are we going to have peace by the end of the olympic games. that would be very optimistic but it certainly would be significant if president moon makes that trip up the pyongyang like you said it's been more than a decade the first center korean summit was in two thousand the second in late two thousand and seven and for almost a decade there was virtually no dialogue between seoul and. so this this invitation that was carried by kim jong il in sr is certainly really significant if not surprising so it's very big step in any case and one of. the plans behind this i mean yesterday he shows his new care potential and today we hear about his invitation how is it all facing together. well it's hard to say what kim

jong un's motives are but certainly what is happening now is driving a wedge between south korea and the united states i mean we saw just last night at the opening ceremony vice president mike pence pretty much gave the cold shoulder to the north korean delegation. now with the pitot with the potential that president moon might be meeting with president trump's archenemy in pyongyang that certainly would make relations between seoul and washington would make them rocky. i mean how likely is it that south korean president and win accept the an invitation then. well according to his press secretary president moon did say that north's and south korea need to work out some conditions in the future to make that all happened so it was kind of vague but what came out during this briefing following president moon's three hour meeting with the north korean

delegation is that the president urged north korea to reopen dialogue with the united states so perhaps that might be one of those conditions ok and the teams of course of north and south korea and tricks to gather yesterday's opening ceremony today the joint korean women women's ice hockey team is playing want to the mood like well we hear that president moon himself as well as kim you'll naam who is north korea's head of state here in south korea right now will be attending the match this is one of the big stories coming out of the olympics that only a few weeks ago these north korean athletes joined the south korean players but i think what we can expect leading up to the game is a show by south koreans who are in favor of the unified team as well as a very vocal group of protesters who will demonstrate at any effort by seoul

to engage north korea tell us jason stearns time in south korea thank you for talking to us thank you. and the winter games of john are underway now the first medals have been awarded and an update on that will be coming to selection later in the show now though israel's in the trees say's the country isn't seeking escalation with syria this after syria apparently shot down an israeli fighter jet that had been taking part in raids on targets within syria israel's military says its planes had been carrying in the attacks in response to an iranian drone entering israeli air space the f. sixteen went down over northern israel a pilot is said to be in a serious condition the most significant incidents between israel and syria since the start of the syrian civil war seven years ago. and for more on this we're going

to cross over to our middle east correspondent tanya kramer joining us now from jerusalem tanya what more can you tell us about this incident. well according to the israeli army statement in the early morning hours unmanned drone ukranian june as israeli army says end to israeli aspace it was intercepted and response to that the israeli army carried out an air raid deep inside syria and you know palmira where the. drone was launched now in response to that the syrian air defense. hit a printer an f. sixteen jet which came down and is there any territory the pilots managed to eject themselves here they're now currently treated in a hospital in the north of israel so what's significant in this is that the response by the syrian depends was much larger than it used to be because it has

carried out as strikes in syria over the past years doing during the war there and also that it hit the f. sixteen fighter jet so this is a very serious escalation and the noise. and israel's entry is saying it's going to react what are you hearing. well we also got another statement because the air sirens went off in the north in the past hours because israeli army said they have carried out a large scale attack in response to the downing of the to what happened in the morning and they targeted according to that statement twelve targets and according to that statement they detail it in syrian targets and ukrainian targets we don't know if that incident now is still ongoing but also the syrian state t.v. has confirmed that it carried out over there tell you can you tell us what exactly

is israel's involvement in syria. there has been a lot of talks here and a lot of talk in the past couple weeks about a possible escalation on the northern border that has to do with the changes in the developments in the syrian war now what the israelis have said on and on doing all the time is that they want to avoid that the ukrainians can entrenched themselves through has through their own bases in the south west mainly in the area near the occupied israeli golan heights so this is why we've seen in the past they said that is that has carried out and strikes against hezbollah weapon transfers and other. places in syria but this is a more serious incident right now at least what military experts you're also saying no of course everybody says nobody is interested in escalation but any miscalculation could lead to more escalation and we understand as well that now on
